"A Savior has just been born in David's town, a Savior who is Messiah and Master."
For the week of Christmas, I thought I'd share a thought from 'The Applause of Heaven' by Max Lucado. Max writes:
An ordinary night with ordinary sheep and ordinary shepherds. And were it not for a God who loves to hook an "extra" on the front of the ordinary, the night would have gone unnoticed. The sheep would have been forgotten, and the shepherds would have slept the night away. But God dances amidst the common. And that night he did a waltz.
Here's what I would challenge you this week. Is your day to day, week to week routine so mundane and 'ordinary' that nothing really distinguishes one from the other? Is it difficult to pinpoint the last time that God used you to do something for him? Or for that matter, are you still able to hear his voice when the request is made?
God will use us on a daily basis, even in spite of our seemingly mundane lives. So as we celebrate and recognize the physical birth of Christ among us this week, pray for and expect God to add an 'extra' into the mix of our ordinary. No matter where you may be and who you are with this Christmas, may it be peaceful...reflective...and extra-ordinary!
